Ethos Nutrition 🍀 Iodine - a very underrated nutrient indeed.
So important for mental health, immune system, metabolism and much more.

By the coast there should be iodine in the soil to reach home/locally grown produce. Very much inland the soil might be poor in iodine and intake of occasional small amounts (1/2 tsp) of seaweed flakes is recommended for everyone.
If you use sea salt in cooking iodine content will be minimal.
It is disappointing that iodine has little mention in the mineral daily recommendations on the British Nutrition Foundation website. As a nutritional therapist I would recommend natural food sources of iodine such as fish, seaweed rather than fortified food sources such as dairy milk.
But following link explains a bit more about iodine https://nutritionsource.hsph.harvard.edu/iodine/
Individual with severe thyroid disorders or on medication are best to contact a nutrition/health professional regarding safe dosage.
For more information or suggestions how to incorporate iodine into your diet ping me a message or pop in to see me.

Ethos Nutrition 💚 We love a holistic and integrated approach to health issues to help restore balance, lifeforce, health & wellbeing.
All bodily systems are connected, e.g. gut-brain. All hormones are connected, e.g. cortisol-progesterone. Our lifestyle also dictates state of our overall health - physically & mentally.
And there is nutrition supporting or damaging (in a case of bad nutrition) our physiological, emotional, metabolic and mental health.
Functional and integrated nutrition can reach deep into the cells & roots and truly nourish. This can bring forth balance and transformation serving the whole being. Doesn't matter how complex the health issue.
